so jehovah's witnesses came to our door, this is about the fifth time, i always miss them, but they talk to my wife, this time i was home due to the holiday season, the man was an elder, he came with a newbie, thought he would show her "how's its done"), the young women sat there with mouth wide open, as she watched me beat up her elder with his own bible.

well after discussing the scriptures for about 2 hours, (subjects included: salvation, ransom, permission of evil, god's organization), she looked at me and said "amazing, i've never heard it explained quite that way before.".

the elder asked me what religious affiliations i had, i told him, "i am with the associated bible students.

Arguments with JWs never get anywhere. They will change the subject when the facts cannot be refuted.

I remember years ago when the JW's attempted to contact me because my subscription had expired. I had a P.O. Box, and they tried to get my actual address from the Postal Service. What they didn't know was that I worked for the Postal Service, and my P.O. Box was at the office I worked at. The Post Master knowing me but not giving them any information, took their name and number. So I called. He was the P.O. of the congregation and wanted to visit and talk, I told him right off that I was a Bible Student, and asked if he still wanted to come over, he said yes. so he and his wife came over. It was around 6 pm, we had just finished dinner, they stayed until 10 pm, no lie. We talked about everything under the sun. Everywhere we differed. Then we bagan to discuss Watchtower beliefs. He brushed aside EVERYTHING I had to say about what the Witnesses teach and believe. Said I was misinformed, when I told him I read it myself from their own publications, he said, I must have read it wrong, that he was with the Witnesses some 57 years and he never heard of such a thing.

I invited him and his wife to my study, they were a bit apprehensive, I assured them I wasn't a serial killer, that I just wanted to show them something. When they came in, their jswa dropped to the ground, as they saw every book by the Society ever published, I then took a book off the shelf and showed him where I got my information from. He began to stutter, and said that they had to go as they had another study to visit. I looked at them and asked "at 10 pm???" He said, "yes, it's a late study".

They ran out of the house, like salesman who just visited "The Munsters".

In the car group I would have said you must be apostate and then marked your door down as a do not call.

LOL ... we use to call them "bird food"

Rev 19:17-18 "And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great."

The most common term they liked to use was "Evil Slave."

Yep ... I've been called that by a number of JW's I've come in contact with.

Actually, C.T. Russell use to publish under the name Laymen's Home Missionary Movement, so technically, you didn't fib.

Yes, I'm honored. I've been called a lot of things, but never antichrist. Perhaps like the post office, they'll have my picture on the Kingdom Hall board under the caption "Antichrist, beware!".

I watched them walk to their car, and the girl turned back and I yelled, "You know where we live, visit anytime."

What are the chances that my address is now listed on the back of the territory card's do not call list?

Jeremiah and the 70 years. Jewish exile or Babylonian rule?

by digderidoo in

i have never until a few days ago been able to reconcile the 70 year prophecy with the 587/6 bce date for jerusalems destruction.

although a post was about this in a previous thread by a@g , i would like to explore this more.. when the 70 years are applied to babylonian rule, rather than the jewish exile everything seems to make sense.. to ellaborate for those who haven't come across it, this is how 587/6 does match the 70 year prophecy.. i hope a@g doesn't mind but i have cut and paste his post:-.

the 587 date does match the bible.... (jeremiah 25:11) 11 and all this land must become a devastated place, an object of astonishment, and these nations will have to serve the king of babylon seventy years.".
